a few points about Gaga

-- A lot of people are saying she can't sing... let's see Britney or any other modern pop star pull off a performance like the one she did on Ellen:

No lip syncing there! Who cares if it's not totally perfect... I'll take a real imperfect voice over an overdubbed/autotuned playback any day.

-- Is the song breaking new musical ground? No. Is she fun to watch and do I get a kick out of what she comes up with next? Absolutely.

-- Someone in the comments mentioned the visuals in the video being a knock-off of Barney's "Cremaster"... that might be, but name one other current pop-star that is trying to stretch the boundaries of what's acceptable in pop culture... I don't think that person exists. For this alone she is to be commended.

-- From what I've read about her, she does seem to be the main creative director and the one with the vision for her art (vs some other pop-star maker pulling the strings behind the scenes). Whether you like what she does or not, this is also respect worthy.
